When two colossal entities such as BMW and Guggenheim get together to transform a vacant lot in New York City into a fully-functioning event space for an evening of music curated by Thurston Moore, long-lost footage from TV Party (1978–1982) presented by Glenn O’Brien, and summer fare by Roberta’s, you know THE INKWELL is going to be there to support. I popped in on the festivities after a long day at the office to unwind, listen to some cool vibes and catch up with old friends while making new ones. Here’s a taste of what Eye Spy’d down on Houston street.
